Okay, I'm not sure if mp3tool will even work when run on an Empeg -- it tries to read the entire file at once into an internal buffer, the Empeg only has 16MB ram, and some mp3 files can be rather large.. I suppose if maybe swap was enabled to provide more virtual ram.

Anyway, if somebody there wants to rebuild mp3tool on an Empeg for use on the Empeg, email me and I'll loan out the source code (not open-source, for now). [email protected]

Just send me back a binary for posting up on my web site.

Also, mp3tool does not yet understand the "Xscale" field of the Xing VBR header (latest version just leaves it alone).. can anyone explain what that field is for, and perhaps how to check for valid contents?
